La Maison was beautifully put together and incredibly atmospheric and peaceful. Our room (Ganesha) was the cheapest on the billing but felt wonderfully appointed and comfortable - with the most amazing shower! There is no air conditioning and the weather can be hot and humid but there is a room fan and wide doors to your private patio you can... more

Breathtaking view, great room, beautiful house, superb complimentary breakfast, friendly and knowledgeable host, reasonable rates. The rooms have different themes which show off the good taste and wry sense of humor of the hosts. Our room was decorated like a piece of Wedgewood china: perfectly shaded blue wall, white bas-reliefs. Architecturally, it is stunning. The walls of the sitting rooms,... more

We just returned from our two week honeymoon in Brazil which we finished with three nights in Rio with a stay at La Maison. If you like stylish and individual boutique v. grande hotels (in my view often dull and samey with all the impersonal and expected functionality) this is a great choice. I love this place for all its... more

The hotel almost seemed like a front and didn't feel like the primary priority of the business. Guests seemed like a necessary nusance. The place has alot of paint peeling and quick touch-ups that hide the run down nature of the property. The pool deck lacks adequate sun and size (it's tiny) to make it a place you'd want to... more

The house and owner are very nice. The view is fantastic. Great pool but not heaten. Good breakfast. The room (Ganesha) has a nice decoration but very dark. The cleanliness so so... (lot of dust on the lamps and on the floor), hairs in the shower and in the towels The bed is good but pillow very hard. We found... more

wonderful small hotel. the owner is great and makes guests feel like part of his family. always helpfull and arrainges places to go. location is good, quite but 10 minutes away from beach and taxis are easy to get. food is very good. if i return to rio i would definately stay there again. more

The blue room we booked had damp patches, cracks on the walls and was basically a B&B room with no TV. It also did not have a telephone in the room which meant we couldn't arrange our activities in Rio. Had the place booked for nearly a week but checked out after the first night stay as we didn't want... more

We stayed in the Recamier Room for 3 nights. The room was spacious and stylish. The bed was two singles pushed together, which made for an obvious connection in the middle. There were french doors that went out onto balcony which had a wonderful view of Christ Redentor. However, there were no chairs or the traditional hammock (which was at... more

The first impression was not good. The property is a bit run down and does not resemble the pictures on the website. The owner did give suggestions for restaurants and sightseeing but the recommendations weren't that great. At times it was difficult to locate staff to help us although the breakfast was delicious. When we got our bill at the... more
